PHOTO FROM THE DC SOCIAL, 9/24/94
The sixth DC 'Darkfriend Social' was attended by some 18 people.
Not all of them appear in this picture because it was taken late in
the evening, after some had left claiming the press of other duties
(family, work, acting in burlesque stage shows, etc.). Missing are
Mike Macchione, Joe Morris, Mat Fisher, and Kristen Fisher. Robyn
Goldstein was there, but she graciously volunteered to snap this
picture. Something about not wanting to appear in the photo with
us...
Parts of picture look funny because I've had to perform a lot of image
processing to bring out as much of it as possible. We all look like
we're pasted on the background; because of that *&^$% neon light, I
had to selectively brighten the images of the people and darken the
background scene. It wasn't easy, but I think I achieved a decent
result.
Going across the front row, left to right, are: Brad "Puppy" Smith,
Jim "Heart of Gold" Fulsom, Pam "FAQQueen" Korda, and Brian "Pasta
Knight" Postow. Brian is holding the infamous Sword That Ain't.
Notice the glow... looks much like Callandor on the cover of _The
Dragon Reborn_, yes? That thing on Pam's head is a spider named
Moghedien. We always suspected Verin was Black Ajah...
Wedged in the middle over toward the right are Melissa Horn and
Judy "Piglet" Ghirardelli. Along the back row, left to right, are:
Bill "Gaidin, not Fain!" Garrett, Chad "Oilcan" Orzel, Joe "ONJL Uno"
Shaw, Mike Ikeda, Andrew Millard, and Don Matthews. Notice how
Chad really _is_ shorter than Judy in the picture. That stuff about
him being tall must have been a hoax.
